This is one of the very oldest "transparencies" in my collection. It was actually shot way back in 1952 by my Dad. This is his 1951 Studebaker Commander "Starlight" Coupe. It featured an unconventional "bullet-nose" design and Studebaker's "glass all-around" panoramic rear view windows. Mom, Dad and I moved to Los Angeles from St. Louis in late 1950. We drove to L.A. in this Studebaker. Two years later my grandfather, Mom's father, became severely ill and she wanted to be with him at that time. So we drove back to St. Louis from L.A. in this Studebaker. This shot was taken after we returned, and you can still see the California license plate on the front bumper. For a variety of reasons we ended up staying in St. Louis after that. This slide had some strong "staining" and the color had faded quite a bit. So I thought it was a good candidate for some creative effects. The car color was yellow and the wheels were a dark red shade. I was so young I really don't remember this car at all. But I know for sure that I did go for a "ride" in it from St. Louis to Los Angeles and back so many years ago. . .

Something a little different. A friend at my camera club loaned me this vintage Aldis slide projector so that I could try a light-painted still life image.
Difficult, because of the reflective surfaces and lack of patina and rust that I usually go for!
A gull will land at the top of the handrail and actually slide down. There were two gulls doing this for about 20 minutes. I would walk over and hand them a treat and then they would fly off and slide again. I'll catch them on video next trip.
"Slide Rock Cascades" by Patti Deters. Pretty cascading waterfalls flow over a series of large rock boulders at Slide Rock State Park in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona, USA. Surrounded by rugged cliffs and trees, the clear water acts to enhance the color and details of the red rock over which it flows. The park land was originally the homestead of a Tom Pendley who grew apples and vegetables for many years until selling the property to Arizona in 1985. The apple orchards are still maintained and provide visitors with a variety of pick-your-own apples. Thank you for viewing this picture.
